Chapter 58: 58. Bad at the game and loves playing (Thanks to the great Alliance Hierarch, Yang Yi’er!)

As the sun set behind the western hills, Bae Juhyun, having finished a day’s practice, lazily stretched while holding her phone.

Meanwhile, the other members sat in the corner of the practice room, eating dinner together.

She naturally didn’t plan to eat there, after all, it was the first day since their relationship was confirmed... How could she not meet with Liu Xin’an today?

In fact, after getting up at noon, Liu Xin’an had already seen the message that Bae Juhyun sent him.

He had replied, of course, but...

Both Liu Xin’an and Bae Juhyun felt that chatting through the phone screen was somewhat awkward.

The cold text made it difficult for Bae Juhyun to imagine Liu Xin’an’s expressions on the other side, and she, being of a lively mind, disliked making blind guesses.

Moreover, the swift change in their status was difficult for her to adjust to, having just experienced her first love.

Maybe meeting in person would be better?

As for Liu Xin’an, who was currently live-streaming... He actually had the same troubles.

Because they had agreed to have dinner together, Liu Xin’an had moved his evening livestream to the afternoon.

Bae Juhyun was busy all afternoon, so he adjusted his work schedule, striving to align his breaks with those of Bae Juhyun.

To him, Bae Juhyun’s job in company operations meant regular office hours of nine to five.

It looked like he’d have to change his streaming hours in the future as well.

Of course, currently he had not yet disclosed his newfound relationship status to his stream’s audience.

Remembering Li Chenglu’s warning vividly, and considering he still needed to make a living—and being single could potentially earn him more—he decided to discuss it with Bae Juhyun that evening.

After all, he was a public figure! He had to consider more things!

"Ahem~"

The notification sound drew the attentions of Liu Xin’an, who was still live-streaming. He glanced at his phone, then coughed and pressed the pause button on his controller.

"Just a sec."

Liu Xin’an, who seldom paused his game for personal matters, made such an unusual move, which led the chat to flood with question marks.

But to the audience, they thought they were just playing along with a joke.

Little did they know... seeing the message from Bae Juhyun had brought out a somewhat goofy smile on Liu Xin’an’s face.

Luckily, he was looking down at his phone; otherwise, the 3D capture software would have recorded his strange smile and transmitted it out via the 3D avatar.

Good, his dignity was preserved.

After reading the message, Liu Xin’an simply replied with "okay," then picked up his controller again.

However, he did not pick up the controller to continue the stream but instead to select the "save" button in the game.

"Something came up folks; that’s it for today’s stream."

As soon as he said this, the chat, already filled with question marks, grew even more puzzled.

Recently, Liu Xin’an had indeed been somewhat slack, but if you really counted, the duration of his streams hadn’t decreased.

It was just that he often wasn’t available during the prime evening hours.

The evening was when the audience peaked, and yet Liu Xin’an foolishly gave up this golden time.

Perhaps there really was something urgent?

The image of Liu Xin’an as an eternal bachelor had deeply embedded itself in the audience’s hearts; they’d rather believe he was genuinely busy than accept that Liu Xin’an was no longer single.

...after all, he hadn’t said so himself.

Ahem, anyway he was closing the stream.

After ending the stream, Liu Xin’an, as usual, backed up his game saves and then hurried to his room.

Today was their first meeting after confirming their relationship, and although the meeting place was the unromantic setting of home, Bae Juhyun had said she was tired from a day’s work and chose to meet at home.

It might not be a romantic location, but Liu Xin’an felt he at least needed to tidy himself up.

After quickly washing his face and fixing his hair, Liu Xin’an went back to his bedroom to change clothes.

Being a gaming homebody, he rarely went out, so most of his clothes were casual wear designed for comfort.

Furrowing his brow in thought, Liu Xin’an recalled previous outfits Bae Juhyun had put together, and chose a white shirt paired with jeans for himself.

No need to shave; he did that every morning, so his face was clean and smooth.

Having done all he could to prepare, Liu Xin’an emerged from his bedroom, went to the living room, sat down, and quietly waited for the doorbell to ring.

Twenty minutes later, a "ding-dong" snapped Liu Xin’an out of his reverie as he reflexively stood up.

He hustled to the door and very nervously wiped his hands on his pants.

Although his palms weren’t sweaty, this action seemed to help him relax a bit.

Liu Xin’an took a deep breath, his handsome face breaking into his most natural smile as he reached out to open the front door.

Immediately, a brightly smiling girl, dressed similarly to him, came into his view.

Bae Juhyun was also somewhat nervous inside, as this meeting marked a significant leap in their relationship.

Holding hands? Hugging? Kissing?

All possibilities circled incessantly in her mind until Liu Xin’an appeared before her; her myriad thoughts, along with her rising smile, transformed into pure happiness.

"Oh! Matching outfits, huh!"

Bae Juhyun stood at the door, holding two bags with a lively presence.

Liu Xin’an was somewhat embarrassed by Bae Juhyun’s crisp voice. Nervously, he nodded and then quickly reached out to take the bags from her hands.

"Let me take those."

"Sure, thanks for the effort."

Since they were already a couple, Bae Juhyun naturally did not stand on ceremony with Liu Xin’an.

She bent down to take off her shoes, stepped into the slippers Liu Xin’an had prepared for her, and then walked over to sit on the living room sofa.

The transition in their relationship lent a fresh feeling to the familiar living room.

She touched the plush sofa and then leaned back in it with full enjoyment, her eyes fixed on Liu Xin’an’s kitchen.

The food she bought had already been taken to the kitchen by Liu Xin’an, and he was probably preparing the bowls and utensils.

Actually, there was no need to transfer everything from the takeout containers to plates—it would be more convenient to eat directly from the containers.

Thinking this, Bae Juhyun quickly got up from the sofa and hastened to the kitchen door, where, sure enough, she saw Liu Xin’an washing dishes.

Liu Xin’an hadn’t planned to put the takeout into bowls; he merely wanted to get a couple of dishes out.

Even though he used them daily, Liu Xin’an still habitually rinsed them before use, then dried them with kitchen paper.

Perhaps because he was slightly obsessive about cleanliness?

Once done, he turned around and was immediately greeted by the smiling face of Bae Juhyun standing at the kitchen door.

That feeling of fiery embarrassment swept over Liu Xin’an once again. He tried to ignore it and asked with a puzzled look, "What’s up?"

Bae Juhyun didn’t answer, but walked up to Liu Xin’an, who was clearly masking his shyness.

She was nervous too, but seeing Liu Xin’an even more anxious than she was really made it hard for her to hold back a smile.

This man was really more innocent than she had anticipated.

Even though he was normally so talkative during meals and drinks and even dared to joke with her,

how could he be so timid now?

Finally, Bae Juhyun stood before Liu Xin’an, who hardly dared to look at her. She thought for a second and then, using her melodious voice, slowly said,

"Liu Xin’an, are you really scared of me?"

"Hm? How could I be?"

Stubborn, he was still being stubborn.

But indeed, he wasn’t scared, just...

He probably just needed some time to adjust.

"Then why can’t you even look me in the eye?"

Hearing Bae Juhyun’s slightly aggrieved voice, Liu Xin’an’s mind bizarrely flashed to... the scenario of the Queen of Women’s Country flirting with Tang Sanzang?

He hurriedly redirected his gaze, but the moment Bae Juhyun caught his eye, Liu Xin’an felt a rush of blood to his head.

He had thought Bae Juhyun would appear truly aggrieved, so he hastened to look at her, fearing she might misunderstand him.

However, turning back, he found Bae Juhyun wearing a smile that seemed to mock his timidity.

"Wow..."

Liu Xin’an was really laughed into vexation, not by Bae Juhyun, but by his own cowardice.

Indeed, Bae Juhyun had not shown any peculiar expressions, and yet he had shyly reacted first.

What was that about!

Realizing this, Liu Xin’an suddenly had an epiphany, and his originally speechless smile was instantly replaced with confidence.

The bold, talkative persona from his live streams took over, and before Bae Juhyun could recover from her sneaky giggles, he approached her.

The shadow that started from the top of his head made Bae Juhyun freeze; her smile stiffened as she looked up at the man, who was a head taller than her.

"What’s up?"

She suppressed her wildly beating heart and asked quietly, feigning calm.

The embarrassed scene she expected from Liu Xin’an didn’t occur. This man, who had just been too nervous to act, seemed like he had transformed into someone else.

He approached Bae Juhyun step by step, and she truly took small steps backward.

Not until she was pressed against the wall with no place to retreat did her internal panic finally break through her subjective restraint.

An intoxicating blush gradually replaced her feigned calm expression, and her beautiful eyes darted about nervously.

Returning to the topic, what was that fridge magnet with... Now was not the time to think about these things, right!

To describe Bae Juhyun as a feisty yet playful person, who was both helpless and mischievous, wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
